Pursuit to Excellence

Excellence is measured in different ways in the different aspects and seasons in life. People
may measure excellence through the achievements they receive and the outputs they make.

Aristotle once said, “Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act
rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted
rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” This is what
schools want to teach the students, excellence as a habit and not an obligation to fulfill. Educational
institutions create programs and events to show support and to motivate their student to perform
well in their education and make excellence a habit.

Academic institutions like our school, awards and recognitions are given to students who
have performed and showed excellence during the school year. Our education institution celebrates
excellence milestones through moving up, recognition and recital programs.
First is moving up program, this is celebrate for the students who will be promoted to a
higher level of education. These students being promoted has successfully fulfilled the necessary
prerequisites for the promotion which includes excellence and diligence in all their subject to pass.

Another program that schools celebrate is the recognition programs, this is held every
academic year for the students who have showed brilliance and performed well in their subjects
and in their class. During this specific program, students who topped their class is being awarded
for their consistent excellence in their studies.
Aside from moving up and recognitions, the school also hold recital programs. The recital
program is held for the students to show and perform their respective disciplines. Disciplines which
include the performing and visual arts. This is to encourage student to not only perform excellently
in their academics but also in the field of art through performances and visuals.
Let us all be like Albert Einstein when he said, “I have no special talent. I am only
passionately curious.” In the continuous learning and education may we find passion in making
excellence a habit.
